Any way to extract music or movies from PSX cd?

[Stalgren]

I was wondering if there was a way to extract the music, sound files or movies from a playstation cd. I have a few old games that I would like to get the music from and some fmv sequences as well

I'm sure there is software called PSound and PPicture (or something like that) which allows you to play individual sounds and look at pictures. Not sure where to find them though.

From what I gather the website for Psound is http://snailrush.online.fr/

But the site doesn't work for any of the links I found. I couldn't find a mirror either do you know of one or another utility?

I threw up a tutorial on this a while back:

...but I really need to update it sometime with more useful information (like how to go to MP4, WMV, MOV, etc)

ripping .psf files from games, I heard, was immensely complicated and requires lots of skill and understanding of the files. I saw an older program used and it looks like a sort of code.

Use Psx Multi Converter 3.22 for extracting movies and music and converting them.
Search that on google and you'll find it .

Anyway,another question .
Can you shrink an .iso and make it without movies and music inside ?
I'm thinking at Tekken 3 [SCES_012.37] .
I have seen it done but for a Japanese version,final iso was only 43 mb !
So ,how is this done ?
Does the region matter ? Some you can shrink some you don't ?

Not really.... Once they have converted it find any instructions or any program that will convert an avi to those formats. However AVI is the best format to save it in unless youre still rocking a 20 gig drive from 5 years ago. Just thinking but someone might ask anyways, if they dont know how im suprised a little bit, but not entirley.

I think the Google search AVI to MPEG or AVI to WMV works pretty well. They can also look up transcoder. Theres a german one out there that handles just about every format.

That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that transcoding from one lossy format to another noticably degrades the quality unless you substantionally ramp up the filesize.

For the best results, you need to play around with the videos while they're in a lossless format and then directly encode to your target. Otherwise, you wind up with the low quality garbage that populates most websites (YouTube, GoogleVideo, etc)

PSXMC Unless otherwise told so Rips the FMV's to Uncompressed AVI's with Raw PCM wave audio. WHich is Lossless. COnverting them to lossy wmv or mpeg or mov is where your losing quality. So my point is Why bother teaching them how to convert it to a lossy format when its already in a raw uncompressed form.

Here is what i said in the middle of that which pretty much negates what you just said.

However I should have said losseless or uncompressed AVI and stated that thats what PSX Movie COnverter was putting out.

I used the converter yesterday on DIsc 4 of FFVII International so i went back and checked just for this.

Yea, I misread that as your typical lossy AVI, not uncompressed/lossless AVI. Even then, there's no harm in going to huffYUV-compressed AVI since it's lossless and results in files ~1/2 the size of uncompressed AVI.

Two big problems with storing everything in uncompressed AVI are if you rip a lot of videos and if you want to share the videos with the internet at large. That's why I try to help people get the best possible end results. Stock AVI->XXX programs typically don't offer the same level of flexibility that you get from VirtualDub (and similar programs), which kind of bites when you want to have some additional control over the video encoding process.

Anyone knows the answer to this ?

i was going to open a thread requesting how to rip audio, but now that ive seen this i guess there's no point. the psound website is down so i was wondering if anyone here could kindly mirror the files.
thanks in advance.

Is it possible to extract music from Legend of Mana? I need a plugin for that game cause it only shows bitmaps and some movies when I scan the disc.
